Does Nelly Know?

Once again, Nelly is talking about a supergroup involving both himself and Pharrell. He mentions Akon, like last time, but this time he also throws T-Pain in there. I suppose it's possible...I don't really think so. Plus even if it's true, what a weird mix right? I think that Akon and T-Pain serve the same purpose in all their collaborations...
Yes, The Neptunes did do some production on Brass Knuckles, but I really don't think of Nelly and P as being hella close or having similar style or similar topics.

They Wish?

Click here to read about Akon and Nelly talking about making a super group with Pharrell.

Maybe it's possible, but I have lost respect for Nelly since his comeback single lacked any actual rapping. Mostly it's just he and Fergie shouting and that shouting being played at a bunch of different speeds. I enjoy my share of high-production-value dance songs, but that's not really what I want to hear from Nelly. As for Akon, he has been accused of attempting to make his past appear more criminal, in order to build credibility. Lying about jail time to try to seem "cool"? Ew...
But I don't know, "Hot In Herre" was a huge success so maybe Pharrell would work with those guys...
